Thanks for joining us again. I got to see a few of you this weekend and it was wonderful. It reminded me how grateful I am to have each of you (not just the ones I saw) as a positive influence in my life.
Last Weeks Actual
Monday: Mushroom Crepe Melt Thingy from Family Fun
Tuesday: ???
Wednesday: Turkey Noodle Soup
Thursday: I actually really did eat what was on the menu this day! I was reminded how much I love my mom's homemade rolls. With turkey. And mashed potatoes. And gravy. Mmmmmm.
Friday: Pizza with the fam. Yum!
Saturday: Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese
Sunday: Ribs with baked sweet potato
So, maybe you've noticed that my planned menu rarely matched my actual menu. Sometimes I wonder waht the point of having a menu is if I rarely follow it. I've concluded a few things. Just having something written down and having my fridge stocked with everything I need for a weeks worth of dinners really does make my week go more smoothly. If I decide to cook Thursday's meal on Monday, who cares? I like to have a little wiggle room. The other thing that really helps me is to think about it in the morning before I get too caught up in the day. If I think to pull the meat out of the freezer in the morning so it can be defrosting, it makes dinner time run more smoothly. So, here's to another week of hardly followed yet very helpful dinner plans.
Monday: Stuffed French Bread
Tuesday: Oriental Salad (You know, the one with cabbage, toasted ramen noodles and sesame seeds, chicken (or in our case, turkey) and mandarin oranges)
Wednesday: Baked Potato Soup (this is my go-to soup. Cheap. Easy. Yummy.)
Thursday: Lasagna
Friday: Turkey Pot Pie
Saturday: Sweet Potato Bisque with grilled cheese (this is new territory for us. The bisque- not the grilled cheese :) )
Sunday: Meaty Nachos.
